Clutter and Terrain is not doing what it should

[Benethor 1]

Hey guys. First, excuse my bad english please :D
I have been working through every tutorial out there, googled everything i could, but i cant locate whats wrong with my Terrain.

I am packing with pbo project (actually tried the Arma Tools packer too) and i am able to get my map ingame. No error is given to me.

But: At some points on my map, the terrain is not how it should be. The borders between two textures are exactly where they should be, but on some places its just the wrong texture. The wrong texture is allways the sand one, and its just on some plaecs, on other places (with the exact same color code) everything is how it should be.

Second problem (which sems to be a common problem, but everything i googled and looked up didnt worked for me), is the clutter not showing up. But in fact the grass clutter on my grass texture works. and the fallen branches on the forest texture work, but nothing else. But everything else is done exactly the same in my configs (at least i think so after checking it a thousand times). Im really desperate right now and i hope someone can help me to find out, which stupid mistake i made.

Two things I would check. Make sure the actual rvmat for the texture is correct and make sure you are not exceeding the color limit per grid cell.

The rvmats are fine, the textures work as they should in half of the cases.

The color per cell was the first thing i thought about. To check this i disabled half of the textures in my mask, even with only four colors on the whole map the problem is the same.

Maybe smaller cell sizes would work here, but the main problem with the not appearing clutter stays :/

[m1lkm8n 411]

I wouldn't disable the textures to check I would add the other color to another known working colors. So grass_green[]={{255,255,255},{112,112,122}}; as an example. 

[cupcake_actual 13]

in the "samples tab" of your mapframe properties, do you have the correct size of your texture mask listed, or the size that you want it to be? if your texture mask is 2048x2048 and you're telling TB that it is anything but, it will cause textures to appear between textures. make sure the numbers in the "samples tab" in reference to the satellite/mask size are the same as the actual size of the files, not what you want them to "stretch to".

 

Don't forget to reexport your layers if you change anything.

Thank you! The texture mask had the wrong sized, didnt change it after upscaling my mask image!
Im exporting right now, ill let you know if that solved anything! :)

Hm, yes, that would havebeen the easy way :D

Don't ever upscale, it needs to be 1:1 scale. So if your map samplers say 20480x20480, then that's the size the image should be outside of Terrain Builder as well

Thats what i mant, figured that out too. I meant i scaled it in Gimp on the actual map size, but i forgot to change it in the the properties.

But now that problem is gone, thanks a lot! But what stays, is the clutter problem.

As you can see on this picture, the grass clutter on the grass works (to some degree), on the forrest surface only the fallen branches work, and on the field (acker), nothing works...

 

And another noob question here: Do i need to reexport the terrain layers in Terrain Builder after changing the clutter and surface config? Or are they applied while binarizing in pbo project?

You dont StrGrassDryGroup in you clutter, and StrGrassGreenGroup is missing bnt_ at start

Oh, typos there, thanks! The forest clutter now works, thanks a lot!

Im just blind when looking at my own code it seems :D
But on my two field surfaces still absolutely no clutter :(

Pretty sure its some small stupid mistake too, that i just cant see. I really appreciate your help guys! :)

Edit: GOT IT! I wrote name[] = instead of nameS[] = in the surface characters! :)

I missed that for a week now, i found it by marking it in Notepad++ and i was confused, why it wasnt green highlighted in every class :D

Now that i got this working, i have a new peoblem. my clutter is really bright, but the ground texture (which are original Arma 3 textures), are really dark.

I think that is, because all the config samples i used are from before the lighting update. Can someone help, what i need to change to have them proper illuminated?

try adding maxClutterColoringCoef to your surfaces like this

 

		 soundHit = "soft_ground";
		 grassCover = 0.04;
		 maxClutterColoringCoef = 2.0f;

Play around with the number and see if it helps

And another noob question here: Do i need to reexport the terrain layers in Terrain Builder after changing the clutter and surface config? Or are they applied while binarizing in pbo project?
 

 you will not need to re export layers when changing info in the config. they are applied in pboproject

Thank you, i did :)
But it wont help. It does what it should, but i think the clutter (lighing) is fine, I tried terrainBlendMaxDarkenCoef too, but its more that the ground texture isnt affected by any light.

I tried making the texture brighter, that works on daytime, but its ugly at night time because its much too bright and saturated then.

 

Edit: I have tried different time settings in Editor, i was wrong, the ground is alright, its the clutter that shines much too bright when the sun i high. In noon and evening it looks great

Thanks, that saves some time. Yesterday i read somewhere, that it is somehow possible to change the config without needing to repack the whole pbo (which takes 20 minutes every time i change a line in the config).

But i couldnt find any advise how to do it. can someone tell me how you do this or where i can read about? :)
